Flavorwire’s Guide to Movies You Need to Stream This Week

Welcome to Flavorwire’s streaming movie guide, in which we help you sift through the scores of movies streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and other services to find the best of the recently available, freshly relevant, or soon to expire. This week, we’ve got documentaries, indies, classics, and titles from Louis CK, Steven Soderbergh, Eddie Murphy, Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, Parker Posey, Jane Fonda, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Alicia Silverstone, and Chris Farley; check them all out after the jump, and follow the title links to watch them right now.

One of this year’s best documentaries profiles Jiro Ono, the 85-year-old Tokyo chef whose 10-seat restaurant (that serves one dish, a $300-a-plate “chef’s recommended special course” of sushi) books months in advance and has become a world-renowned foodie destination. But Jiro Dreams of Sushi isn’t just about mouth-watering close-ups and Food Channel-style logistics (though there’s plenty of both); it’s about the discipline of a man who has dedicated himself to achieving perfection, and continues to strive for that unattainable goal.
